And we will now consider how to properly cook pilaf in a cauldron at the stake.

The following ingredients are needed for the ten-liter cauldron: two packages of unsteamed long-grain rice, 2.5-3 kg of lamb or other meat, two kilograms of carrots and onions, about a liter of sunflower oil, about four liters of water, 4-5 heads of garlic, salt And seasoning (black and red pepper, zira).

And now we will take a closer look at how we will cook pilaf from mutton in cauldron.

We put the cauldron on a strong fire and pour out sunflower oil into it . We chop the meat into small pieces and drop it after the oil is heated. We wait until all the water evaporates, and only oil and meat remain, while we stir it regularly. We cut the onions into semi-rings and put them into the cauldron, continue to mix regularly. We are waiting for the onion to be ready, after which we lay carrots cut into thin strips. Fry, remember to stir until the carrot is soft. Pepper and salt. Salt we take five teaspoons, half the volume taken. We bring it to readiness, then we pour in water. Add the rest of the salt, all the spices, boil.

We proceed to the second stage of cooking such a dish as pilaf in a cauldron at the stake. We close the boiling vessel with a lid and take the fire away on the sides. We wait 20-30 minutes, watching that the fire gradually smoldered, did not completely go out.

The final stage. Remove the lid and give the heat as much as possible. If necessary, podsalivayem. When the dish boils strongly, lay rice (evenly over the meat). You can not mix!

We wait until almost all the water boils away. When rice appears, we insert into it the previously cleared cloves of garlic - deeper so that it can not be seen. Now cover with a lid and make a minimal fire. We are waiting for readiness, which is determined by boiling out all the water and the softness of rice.

Then we remove the vessel from the fire and allow it to cool. All the pilaf in the cauldron is ready at the stake!

And although the classic pilaf is made from lamb, there are situations when such meat does not fit. In this case, you can cook a good pilaw from pork in a cauldron. It will also appeal to children and adults alike.

To prepare this dish, we need a deep cast iron pot with thick bottoms and walls. Ingredients: rice, carrots and pork - half a kilogram, two onions, one head of garlic, a glass of sunflower oil, two small capsicum, barberry, 1/2 tsp. Ziri, salt.

Now we cook the pilaf in the cauldron at the bonfire of pork meat. We pour 200 grams of oil into the cauldron and put it on the fire. After its warming we put pork ribs and fry them for about 8-10 minutes. Then we take them out and lay the onion cut into half rings or rings. Stirring, fry until golden. We cut the pork meat into medium pieces and throw it to the onions. We cut the carrot into thin strips and throw it into the cauldron, when the meat is lightly browned. Stirring, prepare another ten minutes. Add the capsicum, chicken and garlic. Fill all with water, salt, cook for 40 minutes.

We soak the rice for forty minutes, then drain the water and add it to the meat. We put barberry, top up with boiling water and cook. When the water evaporates, close the lid and cook until the rice becomes soft. Remove from heat and leave for 20 minutes. Before serving, take pepper and garlic and mix.
